Professor Roger Maull's presentation will focus on the use of personal data.

Digital technologies such as the Internet of Things are often driven from a provider perspective. If you buy a device the data belongs to the provider. If you are lucky there may be an API which enables you to access 'some' of the data. But we should be clear, the data does not belong to you. There is an alternative, the data could belong to you, for you to own, analyse and trade.

In this presentation, Roger will demonstrate the Hub of All Things or HAT. The HAT is an ongoing research project, start-up and charity. He will explain how individuals can use the HAT to learn more about their own lived life and how they can trade that data with firms. The zeitgeist values personal freedom and autonomy and we as consumers are increasingly choosing to demand access to our data. Roger will conclude by discussing the implications for firms, policy-makers and researchers.
